From these eyes, a lot of reactionary politics is essentially complaining about things and then laying feet at the blame of marginalized groups. America has a horrible infrastructure that you can’t use without your system getting jostled by a pothole every couple of miles. Why? If you’re the kind of guy who reads Breitbart, it’s because we’re spending so much money on the welfare state or healthcare. Thus, Bannon proposes we spend a bunch of money to get in the hole to build our manufacturing back up. Of course, that money would increase our deficit. You can read all over the place why deficit spending isn’t the horror we suspect and that the United States doesn’t work like your personal spending account.

In essence it was an attempt to create a Neo New Deal that still took 90% of its funding from private financiers. The question then becomes a thought experiment: if you had shiny, nice roads to drive on and you’re not a person who pores over the news, would you care who got paid to fix the roads up? Sort of like the oft quoted bromide that Mussolini made the trains run on time, people like when you can connect with them that they can simply point to and that runs through even estimations of who our greatest president was. Why was Lincoln great? He won the Civil War and freed the slaves. Why was Washington great? George Washington set the tone for the country, two terms, etc. Roosevelt? FDR got us out of the Great Depression. And Trump and Bannon might have given you roads. But alas.

Herein lies the issue: everyone uses roads. We know the roads are bad. How would we feel if Trump fixed the roads? Would it be his version of Nixon’s EPA? Or a failure? And would it even matter to a Breitbart voter if gets to imagine he’s sailing the high seas in his minivan?

Therein lies the danger of Bannon. A good number of Bannon’s beliefs are orthodox, but he’s has enough flavoring that it’s an entire philosophy. In the absolute most terrifying of the future I can come up with: there is an entire crushed populace put under the wheels to create a progress for things that eventually will become greater problems. Roads fall apart. But if the version of Bannon’s economics wins out, one where protectionism and high tariffs become vogue again and are married to a blood and soil defense of ourselves that sees racial and imperial misery as a necessary cudgel to create a Tick Tock Man world full of smiling white families, that has a psychic effect that could be as devastating as anything we’ve already faced. And the scary thing is, you could say this is the world we have.

For all of his dysfunction and inability to whip health care votes, Bannon does have an intrinsic political world view he was able to marry to Trump. So here’s what there is to watch out for now: who’s next? If you don’t think a Republican candidate will work with Bannon again or vice versa, I’d like to sell you an umbrella hat for monsoons.

A lot has been made of Trump as the apex of policies and tendencies, but I think he’s thus far been a failed experiment that somebody will one day look at and figure out, once again, how to say the loud part quiet. And that’s where Bannon will come in, because there’s always a market for a new Atwater. That which is not dead can eternal lie.

My husband and I have been married for 3 and a half years. In June it will be 7 years that we have been a part of each other lives. Recently he found out about a guy I slept with when we were separated and I did not tell him about. Before we got married we both agreed to let everything out and start fresh. I didn’t tell him. I was embarrassed bc the guy and I never actually had sex…just everything that led up to it. not to mention it was my brothers best friend and a huge mistake. well it came out recently along with some lies. A friend told my husband I cheated on him and I have never cheated on my husband nor would I ever. He is convinced I am a cheater. we have 2 beautiful kids and all I have ever wanted is a happy family. my kids and my husband truly are my everything. I can not see a future where my husband is not in it. I want to do whatever I can to save my marriage but I feel my husband is already set on the divorce. I know I could have been a better wife to him….a wife he deserves but now I fee like I have realized it too late. I look at my kids and I hate myself for allowing myself to break my family apart. I know my husband is not perfect and he has hurt me tremendously these past 5 years we have been off and on but we made it through for a reason. I love him and I want to save my marriage, one day a friend of my introduce me to a spell caster online who lift me up gave me hope and with-in 2 days after his spell my husband who told me he needed a divorce, called me and take me back home to me i must say today we are happily as one big family again all thanks to Dr joy a father and a real spell caster.Contact email address joylovespell@gmail.com Call him +2347088404185.
